Rotary Acceleration Feed Forward (RAFF) - Provides enhanced vibration tolerance by optimizing operation and performance when the drives are used in vibration-prone, multi-drive systems such as rack-mounted servers or network storage. Perpendicular Magnetic Recording (PMR) - WD RE2 drives employ PMR technology to achieve even greater areal density. |
